H. S. QUINN, physician,
Jefferson, is a son of the Rev. Isaac Quinn, who was born of
Irish parentage, in Pennsylvania, in 1784. He was raised in his native
State, and, early in life, embraced the religion of the Episcopal
Church. He received an education, and was licensed to preach in the
church of his choice early in the present century, riding a circuit for
ten years. In the meantime, he married Cynthia Witten, who
was born in Tazewell County, Va., in 1790. During his ministerial
labors, he prepared for the practice of medicine, and began practicing
in Virginia soon after the close of the war of 1812, remaining in that
State until 1830, when he, with his family of six children, settled in
Highland County, Ohio, where he continued the practice of medicine until
his death, in October, 1843, leaving a widow and nine children. The
widow survived until 1867, and five of the children are now living, of
whom H. S. is the youngest. He was born February 28, 1839, in Highland
County, Ohio, where he received the rudiments of a common-school
education. He subsequently attended the Greenfield Seminary, where he
took up more advanced studies, after which he read medicine under Dr.
John H. Quinn, of New Vienna, Clinton Co., Ohio. He subsequently
graduated at the Medical College of Ohio, at Cincinnati, in 1862. The
same year, he located at Jefferson, Madison Co., Ohio, where he has ever
since resided and attended to the duties of his practice. His political
affiliations are in behalf of the Democratic party, and in 1877 he was
elected as a member of the Sixty-third General Assembly of Ohio. At
home, Dr. Quinn has held many local positions of honor and trust.
His marriage with Bettie B. Putnam, a native of this county, was
celebrated in 1870. |
